Companions

Wolf Link - The Hero of Twilight's wolf form from Twilight Princess who is summoned by the amiibo Rune from another plane of existence and can only be seen by Link, animals, the Yiga Clan, Guardians, and monsters. His starts out with three hearts, though can have more depending on how far Wolf Link has gotten in the Cave of Shadows Wolf Link amiibo dungeon from Twilight Princess HD. Link can target Wolf Link to order him to stay or come. He can also tell Wolf Link to come by Whistling. Wolf Link will attack nearby enemies and animals unless commanded to stay. When low on hearts, Wolf Link can eat raw food off the ground and Link can drop food to restore Wolf Link's hearts. As long as he is not defeated, Wolf Link can be resummoned by the Wolf Link amiibo, however if Wolf Link is killed the player must wait till the next day to summon him unless a save file recorded before Wolf Link perished is loaded.

Unique Items

Sword of the Six Sages - A holy two-handed sword originally created by the Ancient Sages to execute and seal the Dark Lord Ganondorf, but they failed and it was used by the Dark Lord to kill the Ancient Sage of Water before he and the sword were sealed in the Twilight Realm. This holy sword was later used by Ganondorf to counter the Master Sword during his battle with the Hero of Twilight in Twilight Princess.
